“Ford is no stranger to limited-edition vehicles – and the F-150 Lightning Platinum Black is taking our award-winning1 electric truck to new levels of stealth and style. This is the perfect choice for those customers looking to make a statement,” said Dave Pericak, Director of Ford’s EV Truck Program.

Available Technology

Ford’s available BlueCruise4 technology introduces innovative features for hands-free highway driving. This includes Lane Change Assist, enabling drivers to change lanes without using their hands by simply tapping the turn signal once the route is clear. Additionally, In-Lane Repositioning assists in maintaining the vehicle’s lane position while subtly adjusting away from neighboring vehicles. The updated BlueCruise graphics on the digital cluster provide visual cues to the driver during assisted hands-free lane changes and in-lane adjustments, such as when maneuvering away from larger vehicles like semi-trucks. Moreover, an enhanced towing setup experience is also available. The truck is designed to intelligently detect when a trailer is connected, prompting an automatic switch to tow haul drive mode. Once the trailer is disconnected, the truck seamlessly reverts to its previous drive mode setting.
